From WMATA:

“A new tenant is coming to the first floor of Metro’s headquarters in L’Enfant Plaza! Potbelly is bringing first floor retail to help activate our neighborhood. The lease also provides additional revenue for Metro.” (more…)


“Dear PoPville,

My blue 2022 Gazelle Ultimate C380 Low 46cm Mallard e-bike was stolen from the corner of 7th & Q NW yesterday afternoon while I was having brunch at Ambar Shaw. The thieves used a portable grinder to cut through the lock. I have security camera video of the thief cutting through the lock and a lovely picture of him riding away on it! (more…)



900 7th Street, NW (previously home to Ping Pong Dim Sum)

From an email:

“We wanted to thank you all for supporting our big move from Baltimore to D.C. dating back to the original planned opening date in 2020, and again when it finally happened in 2022. All of our efforts were full heartedly put into this project and it is with great sorrow to announce that our doors have officially closed in Chinatown.

On behalf of our wonderful Howl D.C. staff, we will truly miss the family and Wolfpack we have built within the community here. (more…)



5335 Wisconsin Ave

Great news from ANC Rep John Bender:

“Hear ye, @TenleyANC has received a liquor license application for Trader Joe’s at 5335 Wisconsin Ave in Chevy Chase Pavilion.

TJ’s arrival comes in part from years of ANC work without which, eg, most of the pavilion might have been dentists’ office.”

And if part one’s scuttlebutt was confirmed, well, for those who missed part two

STAY TUNED.
